Over the Rainbow acknowledges many of the familiar archetypes associated with queer culture – sexuality, camp, celebrity, rainbows – and looks beyond these to examine reciprocal ways that gay and mainstream representation have influenced each other, and in doing so have contributed to shaping aspects of our culture and of our identities over the last several decades.

The Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art exhibits, researches, collects, and promotes innovative art by Canadian and international artists whose works engage and address challenging issues and themes relevant to our times. MOCCA is committed to providing a forum for emerging artists that show particular promise and to established artists whose works are considered to be ground-breaking or influential.
